"Are We Limiting God"
Description
POINT #1: “ARE THERE LIMITS TO GOD’S POWER, ABILITY, AND BLESSING?”
Ephesians 3:20 (NASB1995)
20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us.
Ephesians 3:20 (PASSION TRANSLATION)
Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.
POINT #2: YOUR CAPACITY TO RECEIVE WILL LIMIT WHAT GOD CAN DO IN YOUR LIFE.
2 KINGS 4:1-7 (NASB1995)
1 Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord; and the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.” 2 Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.” 3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels at large for yourself from all your neighbors, even empty vessels; do not get a few. 4 And you shall go in and shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour out into all these vessels, and you shall set aside what is full.” 5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons; they were bringing the vessels to her and she poured. 6 When the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not one vessel more.” And the oil stopped. 7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons can live on the rest.”
POINT #3: WE CAN LIMIT GOD BY OUR SMALL THINKING!!!
JOHN 10:10
JESUS SAID THAT HE CAME THAT WE MIGHT HAVE LIFE AND HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY!!
ABUNDANTLY: GREEK = OVER AND ABOVE, MORE THAN IS NECESSARY, SUPERADDED. SUPERIOR, SURPASSING, EXTRAORDINARY!!!
2 Peter 1:3 (NAS)
seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
2 Peter 1:3 (PASSION TRANSLATION)
Everything we could ever need for life and complete devotion to God has already been deposited in us by his divine power.
